Egypt’s transitional government had recently promised officially to honor the constitutionally-guaranteed right to vote to Egyptian citizens who will be abroad during the time of the upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections. More recently, there have been concerning rumors about revoking this promise, which were subsequently negated by the supreme military council. However, we are yet to see decisive and transparent steps to ensure this promise.

Therefore, this letter (read the letter below), addressed to Egypt’s Prime Minister, Dr. Essam Sharaf, will be delivered to him directly. It will also be hand-delivered in-person to Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Nabil Elaraby, at a scheduled meeting late in the spring. The letter demands that the government take steps to ensure that Egyptians abroad be able to vote and that it facilitate reasonable methods and procedures for this.

If you feel strongly that the right to vote is an inalienable right of any citizen, please take a minute to sign and share with your friends and networks. We are striving to collect at least one million signatures to present compelling evidence that there are many Egyptians abroad who would exercise their right to vote when given the chance, and that many Egyptians living at home expect the electoral process to incorporate the voices of their compatriots abroad.
